Strategic Transport Fund - Leave to Appeal Granted

The Supreme Court has today granted the Aberdeen City and Shire Strategic Development Planning Authority (SDPA) leave to appeal the decision of the Court of Session in relation to the adoption of its Strategic Transport Fund Supplementary Guidance. The Supplementary Guidance apportions the cost of mitigating the cumulative impacts of new development on the transport network in and around Aberdeen. The adoption of the guidance was challenged during 2015 by the Elsick Development Company Limited.

The SDPA welcomes the decision to grant leave to appeal and will consider the matter further in the New Year.
